Artikal Sound System, an American reggae band from Florida, has sued Dua Lipa (26) for plagiarism. The singer is said to have used the song ‘Live Your Life’ as the basis for her world hit ‘Levitating’, ‘TMZ’ reports on the basis of court documents.
The band has yet to say why they believe Dua Lipa plagiarized. Members have made it known that they want a share of the profits of ‘Levitating’ and they are demanding compensation.
Artikal Sound System released ‘Live Your Life’ in 2017. Levitating appeared on the album Future Nostalgia in 2020 and became a big hit last year. In America, the single even became the most successful of the year. Levitating spent 40 weeks in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100.
